N2  - "Political Order and Political Decay" (2014) by Francis Fukuyama contrasts the history of democracy in America with its current condition. The book explores the development of state, law, and democracy after cataclysmic events and how the modern landscape evolved. It also examines the different legacies of colonialism in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, and offers a clear-eyed account of why some regions have thrived and developed more quickly than others."
